"North Carolina Speedway's Fabled Moonshine Cave Unearthed"

A possible moonshine cave has been discovered under the grandstands of the historic North Wilkesboro Speedway in North Carolina during routine cleaning and inspection, sparking speculation about its use during the Prohibition era. The Speedway Motorsports staff plans to repair the foundation and replace the concrete ahead of NASCAR All-Star Race Week in May. The discovery adds to the rich history of NASCAR and moonshine in the region, where many early racing stars began as moonshine runners on the Appalachian mountain roads.
